In many shops, you can buy the basic equipment (includes writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstones). After this, you could start practice Chinese calligraphy. Calligraphy is not only a practical technique for writing Chinese characters, but also a unique Oriental art of expression and a branch of learning or discipline as well.
